Packing Magic

The whole team (minus Sydney) got together Sunday to do the final packing.

Doug Voerding stopped by to snap a few photos and gather information for the Buffalo News Paper, so look for that this week.

What: 10 people, 21 suitcases/instrument cases.

(19 cases up to 50 pounds each and 2 bags weigh 70 pounds.)
Here is the unofficial list of what we're packing:

1 autoharp
1 accordion
2 bells sets
3 baritones
6 clarinets
2 French horns
2 trumpets
4 cornets
2 keyboards
1 drum set
1 snare drum
4 alto saxophones
1 soprano saxophone
7 flutes
1 trombone
100+ drum sticks
15+ mallets
40+ collapsible music stands
50+ recorders
3 tuners/metronomes
3 drum stick bags
3 French horn mouthpieces
1 clarinet mouthpiece
45+ clarinet reeds
36+ alto sax reeds
18+ cork grease
2 bottles slide oil
7+ bottles valve oil
7 cleaning pads
2 flute cleaning rods
3 cleaning snakes
1 Master Key chromatic pitch instrument
1 tuning fork
1 drum key

12 Quilts
Over 200 beanie babies and stuffed animals
Clothes and shoes - at least 5 boxes worth
Candy
Art supplies -
4 lap tops

1 printer

Also:

Each of us get 1 personal carry-on and 1 personal item, too. I think Adam K is going to carry a guitar on board for his item.

As for the 21st bag- that costs $150 dollars... which is a bargain versus the $500 shipping cost with Fedex.. plus we KNOW it will get to the orphanage this way.
